PaymentWorks 

PaymentWorks

This is the system used by Utah State University (USU) to manage who receives money (stipends, participant support, travel reimbursements, etc.)  You can manage whether you receive these by mail or by direct deposit (also called ACH).  Emails are sent by the system, which frequently go to junk mail.  It will ask for things like your legal name, address, tax information, and payment preferences.  A live person will verify the information and then you will receive a final email that it is completed.  

Anyone receiving money from USU who is not on a USU scholarship, assistantship, or Payroll will need to register.  

This includes participants who are self-advocates or parents/family members who participate with URLEND.  

PaymentWorks has an extensive information system for questions you might have.   A web search with the words PaymentWorks along with a word or phrase often brings up a response.  Their resource library is located at https://community.paymentworks.com/payers/s/ .

****  KEEP a current mailing address in PaymentWorks.  We recommend a permanent address, such as a parent's, if you are a student.  Reach the system at PaymentWorks.com (or click the logo at the top of the page)

INSTRUCTIONS - REGISTRATION

You should have received an email today to register.  If you don't see it, check your junk mail.  It may look like it comes from a person's email address.  

1. You will first get an email to join.  Follow the instructions.  

2. You will get a second to verify your email address.  

3. Once verified, you will be prompted to register.   Fill out ALL the information.  The system thinks of you as a business and the words are confusing.  Any time it says business or vendor or company, that just means you as a person.  Some tips:

   1. 1. • • Company name = your full name (example Harry James Potter)

           • EIN = your social security number

           • Tax Classification = Individual

           • To have your check sent as direct deposit, set up “ACH Information” where it asks.   Otherwise, a check will go out in the mail. 

           • Make sure to enter BOTH a Remittance Address and an Order Address. 

4. You will get an email once you are approved.  

Address and Name Changes

1. Log in then click on "Company Profile" (top right corner).  On the left side will be tabs.  

   1. NAME:  Check your Legal Name as well as your DBA name.  

2. ADDRESS: Your address can be changed in this section also.  Be sure to change EVERY possible address - there are multiple places possible.
